During his recent trip to Jaci’s Lodges in the Madikwe Game Reserve, Go2African ijonty snapped this shy waterbuck on one of his game drives. Waterbuck are known to be quite skittish, so it takes a gentle approach to get this close to them.

Go2African jesslass6 captured this young lion in Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania in September this year. September is a great time to visit Selous as it’s dry season and, like this juvenile lion, the animals tend to spend a lot of time around the waterholes, which makes for great game viewing.
